Chapter 1618 - 1618 The Abstract Stage
1618 The Abstract Stage
“Deal with Yang Feifeng?” Chu Yunfan muttered to himself. This was not too unexpected.
There was no love without reason in this world, and naturally, there was no hatred without reason. Chu Yunfan wouldn’t believe that Huang Feng had no ulterior motives for suddenly showing goodwill to him.
Chu Yunfan started to size up Huang Feng.
Huang Feng was tall and handsome. There was an extremely powerful but hidden divine power in his body. Although it could hide from others, it could not hide from Chu Yunfan’s eyes. Huang Feng was very strong. He was probably much more terrifying than any of the powerful enemies he had defeated before.
Seeing Chu Yunfan’s hesitation, Huang Feng continued, “I believe you should know that although we’re all from Grand Xia, we’re all from different factions. As for me, I happen to have some conflicts with Yang Feifeng, so I need your help.”
Chu Yunfan paused for a moment and did not agree rashly. Instead, he said, “Although Yang Feifeng is strong, it’s not like I don’t have a chance of winning. Besides, I can protect myself. Why must I cooperate with you?”
Huang Feng saw that Chu Yunfan didn’t immediately agree, but he didn’t mind. If it were him, he wouldn’t believe others so easily.
“If you think about it this way, then you’re right. But I’m afraid there will be a problem,” Huang Feng said.
“What problem will there be?” Chu Yunfan said calmly. He had absolute confidence in his strength. Before he broke through, ordinary peak Golden Cores were not his match. Not to mention that he had broken through now. He did not even care about three to five peak Golden Cores. He was determined to obtain the inheritance and did not care about Yang Feifeng.
“What if I say that Yang Feifeng’s strength is already half-step away from the Abstract Stage?” After Huang Feng took a look at Chu Yunfan, he revealed a shocking piece of news.
“Half-step from the Abstract Stage?” Chu Yunfan’s expression fell slightly.
Everyone knew that the Golden Core Stage was the peak of the Core Stage, but it was not the peak of the cultivation path. In fact, there was another realm above the Core Stage, and that was the Abstract Stage.
The Core Stage was about forming a golden core. From then on, one’s life was up to oneself and not the heavens, and one would begin to transcend the mortal world. However, that was just a foundation. For a true expert, the Abstract Stage was the real starting point.
Cores practiced according to the secret teachings left behind by their predecessors. When they reached the Abstract Stage, they would truly begin to comprehend the laws themselves.
The change of martial arts was nothing more than between the virtual and the real. The Core Stage was the transformation from virtual to real, and the golden core transformed from a shadow into a real ent.i.ty. One’s divine power became stronger and stronger till one reached the status of a G.o.d.
The Abstract Stage was the transformation from real to virtual.
Abstracts could comprehend a higher level of power, which was the laws of nature. Comprehension of laws and non-comprehension were simply two different concepts. It was like some people had the authority to use a computer, while others had the authority to modify the computer’s coding.
The abstract in the name “Abstract Stage” represented nature’s laws. It was a power that could not be seen or touched and could only be comprehended by one’s body. Once one stepped into the Abstract Stage, they would reach another level. Although it was just the beginning, it was still a world of difference compared to Cores.
Hearing Huang Feng’s words, Chu Yunfan finally understood why Huang Feng wanted to team up with him to fight against Yang Feifeng.
If Yang Feifeng was only at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, Huang Feng would not be afraid. However, stepping into the half-step Abstract Stage was another matter. Although it was only a half-step, his strength would surely have skyrocketed.
Chu Yunfan’s expression was a little contemplative, but it was only a little contemplative because even if Yang Feifeng had stepped into the half-step Abstract Stage, he was still quite confident. At least, it would not be difficult for him to protect himself. As long as he was given time to completely absorb the remaining energy within the Fused Origin Pills, his strength would advance a step further, and even a half-step Abstract would not be his match.
But this time, Chu Yunfan was not in a hurry to refuse. He simply looked at Huang Feng.
Seeing that Chu Yunfan did not refuse, Huang Feng immediately said, “You just got here and haven’t figured out the situation yet. Now, we’re roughly divided into many camps according to our proximity. Yang Feifeng is now occupying the North gate, and there are many subordinates following him. The ones who provoked you earlier were his subordinates.”
Chu Yunfan understood. This was no different from his previous guess. In his opinion, there was an 80% chance that it was Yang Feifeng, but he was not so sure. From the previous incident, he had judged that Yang Feifeng was looking for trouble with him because there were other people behind him.
None of these young experts of Grand Xia were simple people. Each of them was a genius. It was impossible to say that they were stupid. They were just arrogant and conceited.
“Other than Yang Feifeng at the north gate, there is also Nangong Zhuo who has occupied the West gate,” Huang Feng said, “Nangong Zhuo is a direct descendant of the Nangong clan of Grand Xia. He is a relatively famous existence among the younger generation.”
Nangong Zhuo of the Nangong clan?
Chu Yunfan didn’t say anything. He just silently memorized the name.
“Other than Nangong Zhuo, there is also the Saber Tyrant, who occupies the east gate. This person is an independent cultivator. No one knows what his background is. They only know that he is an extremely powerful saber user who has challenged many famous disciples of the younger generation,” Huang Feng said, “In fact, because he’s too ruthless and easily takes lives. He provoked some sect elders to personally attack him, but they were all defeated by him.”
“Then the person occupying the south gate must be you,” Chu Yunfan said indifferently as he glanced at Huang Feng.
Huang Feng smiled and nodded. “Thanks to everyone’s appreciation, I am indeed the leader of the South gate. Right now, we are each defending our own side. We’re all waiting for the barrier to break.
“We have already agreed that when that time comes, we’ll charge in through different gates. As for who will obtain the inheritance, it will depend on who has the means.”
